Enterprising Worcestershire
Business Coaching Programme
Picture this: 6 glorious hours, just you and a RWC Strategic Partner focused completely on crafting your own Ambitious Growth Blueprint!
We'll align your personal, professional, and business goals, building a crystal-clear roadmap for growth.
Following your 6 hour strategy day you could claim another mini strategy session (4 hours) or 4 x 60 minute 1-1 coaching sessions to help you break through any roadblocks and turn that blueprint into reality!
AND… It’s FULLY FUNDED!!!*
*Worcestershire based business owner or sole trader.
What do you get?
01/ You’ll get a 1-1 Strategy Day with an Associate Strategic Partner (Duration - 6 hours)
First things first you’ll take our Ambitious Growth Diagnostic quiz to identify your personal vision, your ‘why’ and your goals.
During your strategic planning day, we will explore your business mission, vision, values, USP, target audience and services/products.
We will then help you to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in your business to create a winning business strategy.
We will finish by helping you to turn all of this into a 3-month set of objectives and key results (OKR’s) to help keep you laser-focused! AND you will set some concrete actions to take away between this session and the next!
Please note: Due to the interactive nature of this session it is face-to-face in our office. (Hall Farm, Worcester WR7 4NZ) We can offer the strategy day online for those who cannot get to us.
02/ If you receive 10 hours of funded support, we will book in follow-on session(s) with your strategic partner: (Duration - 4 hours)
For follow-on sessions, there are two different options available. During the initial onboarding call, Eliza will help you decide which option is best for you. Here are the options:
4 x 60 minute sessions over an 8 week period. During these one hour sessions your strategic partner will help you implement the strategy that we developed during your strategic planning day. Use this time to dig deeper into your behaviours, boundaries, or limits. Maybe you want to explore your leadership style, tackle procrastination or work on your productivity.
1 x 4 hour follow on Strategy day. Want to build on your initial strategy day? This follow-up session offers another four hours of focused work, letting you either expand on your initial plan with more depth or address key areas you've identified for further development. Let's turn those insights into actionable steps.
Some common areas for discussion are:
Planning out your resources for your 3-year goals to bring them to life (E.g what tech do you need and what is it going to cost?)
Exploring your services/products and roadmap in more detail and pricing models
Mapping out your pipeline and sales processes
Turning an idea into a more concrete service/product/ plan
Please note: Your strategic partner is not there to give you the answers, but their super power is in drawing out the answers from you by asking clever questions. They are master facilitators, passionate about strategy and business growth, and highly qualified coaches.
What does a Strategic Partner do?
Partnership provided by RWC is best described as one to one coaching mixed with strategic planning, facilitation, and community.
But what does that really mean in practice?
Your strategic partner will carefully question you to identify your goals.
They will bring clarity to your strategic business plan.
They work with you to create a realistic and easily implementable plan, increasing focus and reducing overwhelm.
Your strategic partner will help you identify areas you may want to seek specialist support.
They will coach you through any road blocks and hold you accountable.
You decide your actions. You do the graft. You see the results.
Working with a strategic partner involves a collaborative and personalised approach where the coach works with you to identify goals, challenges, and areas for improvement. The relationship is built on trust, confidentiality, and a commitment to your growth and success.
It's important to note that this is not consultancy/advice. Our Partners are not here to tell you what to do.
The Logistics
Once your application is approved by Worcester County Council, we are able to onboard you - a member of the RWC Operations team will be in-touch to book you in for that initial onboarding call (online.)
You will be asked to complete our ‘Ambitious Growth Diagnostic’ quiz before your onboarding.
In your onboarding call we will book your sessions in the diary with your strategic partner, show you your portal, and answer any questions you may have.
All strategy days are primarily done in person in our office in Upton Snodsbury, we do have an online option for those who cannot attend a face to face session. All follow on sessions are online using Google Meets.
You will receive calendar invites for all of your sessions.
You will be added to the Enterprising Worcestershire Programme Whatsapp group so that you can collaborate and build connections with other local business owners across this cohort, and previous ones.
